HARNESS AND LEATHER OILER.

Application filed October 12, 1920.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGHT R. DooLnY, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residng at Leitchville, in the county of Cypress and Province of Saskatchewan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness and Leather Oilers of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to harness oilers and has for its particular object to provide a cylindrical chamber having a suitablehead and being suitably mounted so that harness can be placed therein and it turned after oil has been poured inside, thus thoroughly mixing the oil into the harness but retainin the unused oil in the cylindrical memher for further use and without splashlng or wasting it during the oiling.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, cornbination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

Figure 1 is an end elevation of my invention,

Fig. 2 is a side elevation,

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the closure member.

Fig. 4 is an inside plan view of the cylindrical chamber.

Fig. 5 is a side view of the closure member showing the turning crank in position.

Fig. 6 is a section view of the cylindrical chamber and closure member,

Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of the closure retaining means,

Figs. 8 and 9 are perspective views of the axle pivot and angularturning handle r spectively.

Referring to the drawings like numerals designate like parts in the various drawings.

10 illustrates the preferred construction of the cylindrical chamber having an open 'ing at one side to receive an oil cap 11 through which oil is poured when the har ness is packed into the cylindrical chamber through a suitable opening 12 The opening 12 is provided with a suitable closure 14 which closure is annular in form and provided with notched openings 15 at intervals around its outer circumference. 16 are hingedly connected thumb nuts on the cylindrical chamber 10 adapted to have their Specification of Letters Patent.

threaded end positioned in the notches 15 so that the thumb nuts threadedly engaged thereon may be turned around so as to tighten this member 14 into the opening 12. Centrally positioned in the bottom of the cylindrical members 10, a pivotal axle 19 has its flanged portion 20 bolted to the bottom by suitable bolts 21. In a similar manner an angular handle 22 has one end suitably attached to the closure member ll.

23 is a suitable frame having cross members 24 for bracing the same. The upper end of this frame is provideo with a notch at eachside as at 25 into which the pivotal journal 19 and the bolted portion of the handle 22 are suitably journaled so that the cylindrical chamber 10 may be revolved on this frame by the turning of the handle in either direction.

From the above it will be seen that I have provided a simple and yet most useful contrivance in which harness can be packed, the closure member securely tightened thereon, the cylindrical chamber suitably mounted on the frame 23, when oil can be poured in through the cap opening 11. The handle 22 is then turned, which will revolve the cylindrical chamber 10 splashing the oil thoroughly over the harness allowing it to take up as much as possible but not allowing the oil to splash or become wasted during the oiling process.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction of my invention will be clearly understood, and, therefore, a more extended explanation has been omitted.

What I claim as new, is,

1. A device for oiling harness comprising a cylindrical drum having an end opening, a pivotal journal secured to one of the heads of said drum, a closure for said opening having notched openings at intervals around its periphery, hinged thumb nuts on said chamber adapted to have their threaded ends positioned in said notches and a frame having crossed members, the upper end of said frame having notches to receive the pivotal journal of said cylindrical chamber.

2. A device for oiling harness comprising a cylindrical drum having an end opening, av pivotal journal secured to one of the heads of said drum, a closure for said opening having notched openings at intervals around its periphery, hinged thumb nuts on Said chamber adapted to have their threaded ends In testimony whereof I niy sign'ature posltloned 1n said notches and a frame haw 1n the presence of two Witnesses. in crossed members. the 110 30" end of said V a l I L l AUGHT DUDLEY.
